You know, if you have two or more credit cards as some do and we did in a way (e.g. a Gem account which is actually a credit card and a mastercard), some people pay more to the card with the highest interest and some pay more to the card with the lowest balance.
My suggestion: If you can, get rid of the smallest balance. This means you can then focus on the higher debt. So, pay what is due and spent on the higher card balances but pay a set large amount on the smaller debt.
A card with a balance of $3600 at $250 a fortnight + even 30% PA interest can be paid off fairly quickly. 15-16 fortnights. Done and rid of.
Now transfer all your effort to the next lowest debt. You will find this go hard at start means additional cash on hand when you need it later.
